The real answer is that in the vast majority of cases, what made them good in college was taken away at the next level.
Most of he great college players who weren't great in the pros exploited some weakness in college that can't be exploited against better competition.
That is the correct answer.
Very few great college players failed in the pros because they didn't work hard enough.

You first have to recognize you're failing. You have to trust someone to help remold your game, basically reinventing little aspects of things you've done FOREVER. That's hard to deal with. And athletes don't really have personalities that fit well with that type of situation.
